Tie a Baby Sling Pouch From a Scarf - Make sure the scarf is usable for this type of activity. Ideally the scarf needs to be made of a non-irritating material that doesn't have any worn or weak areas. The scarf should be approximately 2 feet wide by 11 feet long.
Drape the scarf over your left shoulder, leaving about three-fifths over your back (the "long end") and about two-fifths hanging over the front of your body (the "short end").
Tie a Baby Sling Pouch From a Scarf
Reach behind you and pull the long end across your back and around to your front. The scarf should cross your rib cage and emerge below your right arm.
Tie both ends of the scarf in a double knot, being sure to leave approximately an extra foot or two slack for the pouch. The knot should be positioned between your left shoulder and breast.
Sit down and slide your baby into the sling with his butt resting in the pouch, his head toward the knot and his knees bent with legs and feet tucked into the pouch comfortably.
